Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 48 Color TWO: Color Waveform

In this tutorial, Andrew Devis introduces the YC Waveform graph, showing how to select it and explaining what information it gives. Andrew also briefly discusses the IRE 7.5 setup and also shows the difference between NTSC and PAL measurement as well as how PAL mV are shown differently in Premiere Pro (incorrectly) compared to After Effects (correctly).

Above all it says:A special note for PAL editors: Unfortunately, Premiere Pro doesn’t seem to follow international standards for this measurement! In the usual PAL system you measure in mV (millivolts) where 100 IRE = 714mV and 0 IRE = 0mV (IRE 7.5 = 53mV) but for some reason Premiere uses Volts and has the range 0.3 to 1. As long as you know about the differences this shouldn’t cause you many problems.

but I didn't understand ...
at the end, which is in Pal (V) waveform the threshold?
I think we have this correspondence between IRE and mV (Volts):
IRE = 100 Pure Withe
as
V = 1.0 (but the right White PAL V value is 0.714)

I'm pleased you found this helpful, it actually took me quite a long time to get this information in the first place! I can understand why PP works 0 to 100 as it is easy for people to understand, but technically it isn't correct and so can really throw people out who actually understand what it should be!

Thank you for a great tutorial and particularly for the info about PAL mV being shown incorrectly in Premiere Pro. Premier Pro’s YC waveform monitor had been worrying me for a while, reassuring to know that it’s Adobe’s problem and not mine (while still a pain). Yours was the only straight answer I could find. Thanks again.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 40 Titles 8: Creating an ArrowPlay VideoIn this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to create a simple but effective arrow with the title design window. Although there are other alternatives to adding arrows to a sequence such as creating an arrow in another program and importing it into Premiere Pro, using a title can be a quick solution when short of time. Andrew will show how to animate assets such as the arrow in a future tutorial.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 41: Project ManagementPlay VideoIn this tutorial, Andrew Devis starts be going over resetting your workspace to the default CS6 workspace if your project was created in a previous version of Premiere Pro. Andrew then goes on to show how to remove unused footage from your project and then how to create both trimmed and copied versions of your final project either to move to another machine or for archiving.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 42 Fixed EffectsPlay VideoFixed effects are the basis of all animation in Premiere Pro. In this tutorial, Andrew Devis starts to introduce these fixed effects which include Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity and Anchor Point (as well as Anti-Flicker). Andrew explains how to use each of these controls using a previously created title of an arrow. In a future tutorial, Andrew will show how to animate each of these properties in Premiere Pro.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 43 Animating Fixed EffectsPlay VideoIn this tutorial, Andrew Devis starts to show how to set up animation for a property. As well as setting property values in the 'effect controls' panel, these properties can be animated and, in the case of the animated position property, can even have the path they follow adjusted with handles to create interesting and stylized looks.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 45 Corner Pin EffectPlay VideoIn this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to use the corner pin effect to replace a sign which is in perspective with a Photoshop image using the corner pin effect. Andrew also shows how to nest multiple layers such that Premier Pro sees them as a single laying meaning that they can be animated with a single set of motion controls. Lastly, Andrew also show how to smooth the animation by changing the keyframe type to a keyframe that gives a much smoother and more professional animation.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 46 The Pen ToolPlay VideoIn this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to animate in the timeline with the pen tool. Andrew shows how to select different fixed effects in the timeline and shows how they can be animated as well as discussing the potential problems of using this method.

Premiere Pro Techniques: 110 Preset & Custom Lumetri LooksPlay VideoIn this tutorial, Andrew Devis goes through a new option that will be coming with the next release of Adobe Premiere Pro called Lumetri Looks - which gives you the option to apply .Look files created in Adobe SpeedGrade directly to your footage in Premiere Pro.
While this option at first glance seems to only offer the ability to apply presets already created, there is also a way in which you can create your own grades in SpeedGrade, save them as .Look files and then apply those custom grades to your footage or to an adjustment layer in Premiere Pro CS_Next.
In this tutorial, Andrew shows the new option and how it may be used with SpeedGrade CS_Next to create, save and apply your own custom looks.
